The Labour Party was offering the chance to build a movement of people who believed in one common cause, of social justice, equality and progressive ideals.

There is no justice in social justice, and there is no equality in social equality.

The concepts of social equality and social justice are not always the same.

PL is the natural home of all those who are united in favour of change in Malta, and he pledged to fight for social rights against all odds, just as “our forefathers” fought for so many rights that are often taken for granted.

What we definitely do not want is to have young people who cannot afford to study because of financial problems in their families.

Equality of opportunity is not enough. Unless we create an environment where everyone is guaranteed some minimum capabilities through some guarantee of minimum income, education, and healthcare, we cannot say that we have fair competition. When some people have to run a 100 metre race with sandbags on their legs, the fact that no one is allowed to have a head start does not make the race fair. Equality of opportunity is absolutely necessary but not sufficient in building a genuinely fair and efficient society.
